    Although the main divisions of the National Defense Force have not yet reached mechanization, as the elite guard regiment directly under the military headquarters, they are without exception received the attention of each army and become the first mechanized infantry regiment of each field army.

    At this moment, a long convoy composed of two battalions of the guard regiment was gathering at the gate of the military camp outside the city, waiting for the order to set off.

    Looking at the convoy consisting of twenty armored fighting vehicles and one hundred automobile personnel carriers in front of them.  Everyone standing in the military camp believed that facing the heavily armed guard regiment, the two thousand local armed forces would collapse if they persisted for half an hour at most.

    At this moment, a scout lurking around the Hou family finally appeared in everyone's sight, and quickly ran towards Mo Bin's location.

    He reported loudly to Mo Bin without even having time to take a breath.

    "Sir, a week has passed and the Hou family still has no sign of paying the fine. In addition, maybe the other party has noticed that we will send troops. From today on, all roads leading to the Hou family compound will be heavily patrolled by Hou Guowen.  Defense, the entire Hou family compound has also entered a state of martial law."

    Tang Wu, the leader of the guard regiment standing next to Mo Bin, had a mocking smile on his face.

    "Sir, this Hou Guowen underestimates us too much. Does he think that just with the broken gun in his hand, he can block the front of our guard regiment"

    After glancing at the twenty armored tanks at the front of the team, Mo Bin couldn't help but show an expression of approval on his face.

    He said to everyone: "Since this Hou Guowen doesn't know how to praise, let's use him to perform surgery. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey Captain Tang, I will leave the next thing to you. I will be here waiting for your success"  .¡±

    After paying a military salute to Mo Bin, Tang Wu confidently replied: "Sir, please rest assured, if I can't even take down two thousand local armed forces, I will shoot myself without you having to say"

    After finishing speaking, he loudly ordered to the subordinates in front of him who were ready to go: "The first and second battalions of the Guard Regiment, set off immediately"

    ¡°Boom¡­¡±

    The deafening roar of the engine sounded in the military camp.  The chariots were like angry leopards, roaring out of the military camp and approaching the Hou family compound at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour.

    Soon, the first line of defense deployed by Hou Guowen on the highway appeared in Tang Wu's field of vision.

    I saw a blocking position inside the telescope that was completely piled up with sandbags, and the defensive force was no more than two infantry platoons.  A slight smile full of disdain appeared at the corner of Tang Wu's mouth again, and he shouted an order into the walkie-talkie microphone in his hand.

    "One battalion of armored companies, keep moving forward. Don't stop. Rush up and kill these bandits"

    With the roar of huge engines, ten armored vehicles accelerated forward quickly, spitting out black smoke and rushed forward.

    One kilometer, eight hundred meters, six hundred meters, five hundred meters

    In the blink of an eye.  Hundreds of enemies appeared within the effective range of the armored vehicle's machine gun.

    If it were an ordinary machine gun, it would never be able to kill the enemy hiding behind the sandbags.  However, the 20mm caliber bullet fired by the machine gun can easily penetrate the chest cavity filled with sandbags and enter the enemy's body.

    The dull sound of machine gun fire just sounded on the battlefield.  Ten thick bolts of machine gun fire were fired at the blocking position 500 meters away.

    In just the blink of an eye, the enemy's blocking position, which was clearly visible just now, was beaten into dust by ten machine guns.  Enemies hiding behind the chest.  With expressions of disbelief and shock on their faces, they were shot one after another and fell to the ground.  The enemies who were not hit by the bullets showed expressions of genuine horror.

    ¡°I have never experienced such a brutal battle, and the guards and servants who usually only try to scare people suddenly lose the courage to continue fighting when faced with death and blood.  Then, regardless of exposing his back to the guns of the security group, he dropped the weapon he was using to show off his power and fled to the rear in embarrassment.

    "Sure enough, they are a bunch of rabble The armored company, continue to attack, destroy them Other troops, continue to advance, surround the Hou family compound." After witnessing the entire battle, Tang Wu, who was full of disdain for the opponent's combat effectiveness, was decisive.  ordered.

    No matter how fast the frightened servant fled for his life, he could not escape faster than the armored vehicle.  Therefore, all the guards who fled to the rear along the highway were without exception turned into corpses by machine guns.

    Therefore, it was not until the mighty convoy of the National Defense Force appeared outside the Hou Family Courtyard that Hou Guowen learned that the National Defense Force had sent troops and the Hou Family Courtyard had been surrounded by the National Defense Corps.

    Faced with twenty armored combat vehicles lined up a few hundred meters outside the compound, Hou Guowen was afraid.  However, knowing that the battle in front of him would be his last ditch effort, Hou Guowen held himself backWith fear in his heart, he loudly encouraged the nurse around him.

    "Brothers, there is nothing to be afraid of. The National Defense Forces also carry one head on two shoulders. Even if a bullet hits them, they will still be killed. Now I am here to announce that if a National Defense Forces member is killed in today's battle, I, Hou Guowen, will reward him.  One hundred pieces of ocean and ten acres of land"

    "Of course, if we lose, it goes without saying that everyone knows the result. Because you usually do bad things with me. With the bad things you usually do, even if you surrender to the National Defense Forces, you will die miserably."

    "So, you have only one way now, and that is to continue walking with me. Defeat the attack of the National Defense Force, take the ocean, take the land"

    "Long liveLong live Mr. Hou"

    With the encouragement of all the confidants, excited cheers quickly sounded in the Hou family courtyard.

    Especially after Hou Guowen placed Xian Dayang in the middle of the courtyard after slowly hitting two baskets.  Facing the temptation of the ocean, which shines with dazzling white light under the sun, the fear on everyone's faces immediately disappeared, and was covered by a thick expression of heat.

    "Compared with the loud shouts and cheers in the Hou Family Courtyard, the expressions of no one in the surrounding National Defense Forces changed.

    The leader of the regiment, Tang Wu, once again flashed a smile full of disdain. He directly raised his telescope and began to search for a breakthrough around the Hou family compound, which was like a turtle shell.

    Looking at the thick courtyard wall made of huge stones in front of him, Tang Wu slowly put away his desire to ask for instructions.  Subconsciously, I let out a sigh: "What a fool, a small landowner actually has such a powerful fortification. With such a strong wall, it can be called an independent kingdom"

    After finishing speaking, he analyzed the two battalion commanders standing beside him: "Judging from the current situation, the thickness of the walls of the Hou family compound is definitely more than one meter, and they are all made of strips of stone. Unless heavy artillery is used, otherwise  There¡¯s absolutely nothing we can do about it¡­¡±

    The first battalion commander said: "Although the 75-meter mountain cannon we brought is powerful, it is basically useless in front of this kind of fortifications. One shot will leave at most a white spot on the courtyard wall"

    After finishing speaking, he suggested to the regimental commander beside him: "Gentlemen, how about we directly ask for help from the Air Force. If there is a bomber here, at most two heavy aerial bombs, the courtyard wall in front of us will be destroyed.  Turned into ruins¡­¡±

    Tang Wu's eyes lit up and he loudly agreed: "You are right, since we have an air force, of course we must use it. You know, the lives of our soldiers are worth much more than two heavy aviation bombs"

    "Besides, our mission on this trip is not only to eliminate Hou Guowen, but also to act as a deterrent to the surrounding landlords and gentry. If bombers can be used, the deterrent effect on the surrounding landlords and gentry will become even greater  .¡±

    "Order the troops to stand by and closely monitor every move in the Hou Family Courtyard the communications troops. Immediately contact the military headquarters and request the military department to send a dive bomber over immediately to help us blow up the wall of the Hou Family Courtyard."

    ¡°Perhaps Luo Qiyuan had already known what Tang Wu was thinking, and the bombers ordered to come for reinforcements were not one, but three in a small group.

    Under the attack of three bombers with a total of six heavy bombs.  Before the two thousand servants headed by Hou Guowen could react from the panic, most of the troops disappeared into thin air.  The losses were in the explosion of six bombs.

    Afterwards, there was only one task left for the two battalions of the Guard Regiment: accept the surrender of the remaining enemy troops and clean the battlefield

    The National Defense Force wiped out Hou Guowen and his two thousand elite men with lightning speed. All the Hou family's property was confiscated, and all the remaining 30 or so members of the family were exiled to the Far East. The arrogant Hou family disappeared in the blink of an eye and became  history¡­¡­

    When the news spread, the landowners and gentry within hundreds of kilometers were stunned as if they had been given a slap in the face.

    At this moment, another policy of the National Defense Forces reached the ears of these gentry and all the people in North China.

    "All tenants within the jurisdiction of the joint government, as long as they register with the local government, can receive fertile land, rations, and grain seeds distributed free of charge by the government, and become self-cultivators, completely getting rid of their status as tenants"

    Without tenants, a large number of acres of land will undoubtedly become wasteland.  However, in the face of the high-pressure policies of the National Defense Forces, even if nothing is grown on the land in their hands, they still have to pay the annual grain tax.

    For a time, all the landowners and gentry discovered that the fertile land in their hands was no longer a hen that could lay eggs, but a burden that could drag them down at any time.

    When the news spread that a gentleman took the initiative to ask the government to redeem his land and was exempted from most of the fine.

      The remaining landowners and gentry who lost their leaders no longer had the courage to fight.

    In less than a month, hundreds of millions of acres of land in North China have all fallen into the hands of the coalition government.

    Coupled with the large amount of fines these landowners had to pay for overtime, during the entire land redemption process, the coalition government paid almost no price and obtained so much land for free from the landowners and gentry through legitimate means.

    With land, land reform can proceed smoothly.

    Not only that, the more than 100,000 local armed forces dispersed in North China were also massively disbanded by the landlords and gentry as Li Guosheng originally expected. There was only one last step left to completely disarm these landlords.

    When the entire North China region was undergoing land reform in an orderly manner, Wang Xuebin, who was the first to propose to the coalition government to redeem his land, was building the first cement factory in Hebei Province.

    Wang Xuebin, who had been busy at the cement factory site all day, had just returned home and was about to take a rest.  My father, who no longer interfered with family affairs, came to his yard very unexpectedly.

    Just when Wang Xuebin was about to get up, his father waved his hand and said, "Bin'er, you've been working hard at the factory all day, so don't get up. I came here just to ask. What is this cement factory you want to build?"  It will be built in time"

    When Wang Xuebin mentioned the cement factory into which he had put countless efforts, a smile full of satisfaction appeared on his face.

    He answered to his father: "Father, the cement factory building will be completed in half a month. I also ordered the cement-burning machine a week ago. According to the reply given by the manufacturer, it will arrive in twenty days."  .¡±

    ¡°Coupled with the time required for machine installation and debugging, our cement plant can produce cement within one month at the latest.¡±

    "Okayyou have done better than my father. I believe that our Wang family will be able to flourish in your hands" the old father said with emotion and pride.

    At this moment, the old father suddenly showed a hesitant expression on his face.

    Seeing this, Wang Xuebin quickly asked: "Father, is there anything else?"

    The old father nodded.  He asked with a look of embarrassment: "Bin'er, I want to ask you if you are still short of funds during the construction of the cement plant"

    "Funds" Wang Xuebin frowned and asked in confusion.

    "Father, do you have something you want to tell me"

    Now that the words have been spoken, the old father no longer hesitates.  After nodding affirmatively, he asked Wang Xuebin.

    "Bin'er, you should still remember Li Shibo and Zhang Shibo, who have always been close friends with our Wang family"

    "In this land reform launched by the government, they don't have the long-term vision like you. They can sell their land to the government as soon as possible in exchange for a large amount of money to build a cement plant. But no matter what, they still start from  The government received a ransom of hundreds of thousands of oceans."

    "However, because all the land in their hands is sold to the government, they have no other industries that can bring some income to the family. If this continues, no matter how much family property they have, they will be left empty-handed. After seeing the cement factory you built, the two uncles  . They all think that you have a good vision and the cement factory will definitely make money in the future. I just want to use some funds to invest in shares. You see"

    Seeing Wang Xuebin's hesitant expression, the old father added immediately: "Of course, the entire cement plant is your business. Don't worry about me. I'm just a messenger. If it doesn't work, I will reject them."  ¡­.¡±

    Wang Xuebin shook his head and said: "Father, together with the investment funds from the other two companies, the capital we have invested in the cement plant has reached two million yuan Under such circumstances, if we invest another hundreds of thousands of yuan, not only will there be no  Meaning, money will be wasted on this cement plant"

    Seeing the fleeting expression of disappointment on the old father's face, Wang Xuebin suddenly changed the topic and said immediately: "If the two uncles believe me, I can invest another five hundred thousand oceans on behalf of our Wang family.  Together with Shibo, we will enter into a joint venture to build a new factory"

    "The new factorythe factory that produces something" The old father quickly showed an expression of expectation on his face and asked subconsciously.

    "It's a textile factory When I consulted with the Ministry of Industry of the government on establishing a cement factory, I learned about the existing major factories in North China. In the entire North China region, except for one textile factory in Shanxi, there are  The textile industry is almost zero, and many places even rely on handicraft workshops to produce cloth"

    ¡°In addition, Hebei Province is a major cotton producer. If we can build a textile factory, we don¡¯t have to worry about raw materials or sales. We can definitely make a lot of money"

    Seeing Wang Xuebin who was full of confidence, the old father nodded firmly and said: "Okay, then build a textile factoryBin'er, the two uncles are at our house now. Come with me and follow them."  Explain and try to build another textile factory. By then, our Wang family will have two factories with assets worth millions, which will be no worse than farming before"

    Two days later, when I heard the news that Wang Xuebin, who had a vicious vision, came to the Ministry of Industry again, wanting to build another textile factory.  Shocked, Mo Bin immediately put down his work and planned to talk to this young man to find out why he managed so many factories at once.

    You should know that Mo Bin¡¯s investigation of Wang Xuebin showed that the Wang family¡¯s assets were simply not enough to build two factories.

    When Mo Bin listened to Wang Xuebin's explanation, he asked with an incredulous look on his face: "Xuebin, are you sure that your uncles took the initiative to find you and asked to jointly build a factory with you"

    "Yes, Vice Chairman Mo" Wang Xuebin affirmed loudly.

    Seeing the increasingly puzzled expression on Mo Bin's face, Wang Xuebin explained: "Vice Chairman, since the government implemented land reform in North China and other places, many landowners and gentry who have no other source of livelihood have lost their only source of livelihood. Although the  You have a lot of money, but you can¡¯t just sit back and have nothing.¡±

    "So, in North China now, many gentry have large sums of money and want to find a business that can give them annual dividends. My two uncles just saw that the cement factory will definitely make money, so they spent their old money  The total amount is 500,000 yuan, and I will start a textile factory together"

    Although Mo Bin didn't speak at this moment, his heart started to get excited as if he was overturned.

    After taking a deep breath, he asked Wang Xuebin in front of him: "Xuebin, you are a local, how much liquidity do you think the entire North China region has in the hands of gentry and landlords like your family  "

    After saying that, Mo Bin, who was deeply afraid that the other party would misunderstand him, then added: "Xue Bin, don't worry, our National Defense Force has absolutely no intention of taking these funds as our own. I am just making an inference. If these  If all the funds are used to build factories in North China, how prosperous North China will be"

    "You know, as the government has abolished various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the government's tax revenue has become less and less. And if we want to increase government tax revenue, there are only two ways to go: large-scale development of industry and commerce and the construction of communism. That's why I have this  Just ask. If it¡¯s not convenient for Xue Bin to say it, just assume I didn¡¯t ask the question."
